About my blogThis blog relates to my academic study of blogs. It details various aspects of my work. Now that I have submitted my thesis, I will try and report some of my findings. I'm also using it to make any observations I have on blogging, and any relevant stories I come across. It's my getting into the spirit of my medium.

About meMy name is Scott Nowson, and this blog reflects the work of my PhD which I received from the University of Edinburgh in 2006.

You can learn more about me, as well as find all my publications, on my website.

what an unprofessional thing to say. AND multiple exclamation marks?!?! how awful.

Anyway, got in today, checked my inbox, and it's chocka. It's packed with people having done my experiment. How the...? What the...? Not that I'm complaining but normally, I email some people, a third to a half of them do it, and one of two more get it from them. But this response level was simply unprecedented.

How did it happen. The computers were down when I got here, so I couldn't check. But now they are back. Cool. Of course, privacy and confidentiality are assured with my experiment, so even if other people are saying they did my experiment, I will not name them, so I can't tell you exactly what happened. But...someone I emailed on Monday has linked me. Got a good few links there. One of the people who came through that blog linked me, and from them my greatest number of links has come. More even, certainly in the first day short term than my mention on the BBC website. Wow. If you are reading this...and one of you certainly has been :D...thank you so much. You are absolute stars.

So is everyone who has done my experiment and/or linked to me. I show no favouritism.
